Let me tell you a crypto story that many of you don’t know, the very reason why it exists today! Everything you need to know: the community, where it started, where we are now, and where we’re headed Where It All Started In 2004, a small group of people developed a network called Tor. It allowed users to browse the internet without worrying about being spied on. It was primarily designed for important journalists and whistleblowers to share sensitive information with the outside world, without the risk of being tracked, silenced, or even killed for holding and sharing valuable truths Why Tor works so well Tor is based on Onion Routing. It uses a global network of relays, hosted by volunteers, to bounce internet traffic across different countries. This makes it extremely difficult to trace where a message originated, especially after several hops The Double Edged Sword Tor empowered good actors but also criminals. When it became more publicly known, criminals started using it to sell drugs, weapons, malware, and things you don't even knew existed. Hence the rise of the Dark Web on Tor, where the majority of the data is illegal content At some point both parties shared one major issue. No private way to handle payments, until Satoshi Nakamoto launched Bitcoin in 2009 To be clear: we still don’t know if Satoshi was a black hat, white hat, or grey hat. Nor if Bitcoin was explicitly made for the Tor community But when Bitcoin arrived, for the first time, people could pay each other privately over the internet Suddenly, .onion shops exploded across Tor. It was chaotic. You needed to know the right IRC channels and community websites like 4chan; otherwise, you'd be lost for days trying to find the right webshop Back then bitcoin was valued at all sort of prices depening on which network of people you knew The Rise of Bitcoin As time passed, Bitcoin became the currency on Tor. But users complained they didn't know how to buy. So in 2010, BitcoinMarket.com became the first crypto exchange. Bitcoin was priced at $0.003. Soon after, the infamous Mt. Gox launched Exchanges made Bitcoin more accessible, drawing more users to Tor, but also scammers. You’d buy something and just hope it will be delivered Then came Silk Road, built by @RealRossU mainly. It was like eBay for the Dark Web, complete with reviews and categories. High ratings meant you’d likely get your order delivered The Rise of Other Cryptocurrencies Satoshi not only brought us Bitcoin. He also inspired others to copy Bitcoin's code, which led to the emergence of: - 2011: Namecoin, Litecoin - 2012: Ripple, Peercoin - 2013: Dogecoin - 2014: Monero (private-by-default via Ring Signatures) And finally, in 2015, @VitalikButerin introduced a more innovative approach, something with a real use case: a cryptocurrency called Ethereum and its ERC-20 network powered by smart contracts Around the same time, more and more exchanges started popping up A Hetch Against Banks Called Store of Value Before crypto was even recognized as a store of value, early investors went through multiple bull runs. At some point, crypto hit the mainstream (mainly due to COVID-19 and stimies), and it became more common to describe cryptocurrency as a store of value or a stock-like investment. As of today, this is even widely accepted around the world From Decentralization to Centralization The COVID bull cycle was great, but the state we're currently in is far more centralized than you might think Instead of using wallets, 70% of all crypto users now rely on CEXs (centralized exchanges). Interactive wallets like @MetaMask have made it easier for users to buy and sell crypto on dApps, but this only accounts for about 30% of users We even have ETFs now and crypto reserves held by countries The most overlooked problem is that CEXs can alter the circulating supply within their own exchanges. The bids and asks you see are just magic numbers in a database, making it much easier to manipulate the price whenever they want The Centralization Problem To make this easier to understand for the average crypto user, I’m going to try explain it in a way everyone can grasp Imagine all current blockchains as banks. Let’s take the most well-known in crypto, it’s called the Bank of Ethereum Bank of Ethereum sits between companies and other banks (like XRP, XMR, HYPE, SOL, etc.), all offering different kinds of services, much like what you see in a real-life city Most of these banks have walls made of titanium. When you enter, everything must follow strict protocol, mostly private and secure. Everything that enters has to go through high-level encryption and obey certain rules But the nicest part is that anyone can walk around it, peek inside, and even try to break it. It’s all allowed, fully digital and open-source On the flip side, because it’s open-source, hackers are constantly looking for exploits to drain tokens. Most of the time, when a token drops -90% in a single day, this is the reason The Bank Problem Every day, developers are working to improve everything inside their "bank" to make it more secure and robust. What’s wrong with that? Well, all eyes are focused on what’s happening inside the bank. The inside is secure, but what about outside? What about the streets and the community? The Streets and Its People When you walk from building to building, you’ll encounter: - People (fellow degens) - Surveillance cameras (your ISP) - Scammers (hackers) - Known banks (CEXs mainly KYC) - Less-known banks (DEXs) - Hookers offering you free blowjobs (KOLs) - Police officers (government) - A lot of shit piles (meme coins and useless projects) - Gems (meaningful projects building for the community on the streets) You Just like how your wallet holds different cards in the real world, used for ID, gym access, or opening doors via RFID, your crypto wallets are similar. Whether it’s MetaMask, Phantom, Trust Wallet, or a desktop Bitcoin wallet, these are (d)apps to access different chains Of course, you can choose to stay "safu" in a CEX and just peek through the one-way mirror (closed source) at the streets The Worst People in the Streets The hookers (KOLs) are the best deceivers. They lure you into buildings promising free blowjobs. 90% of the time, your pants get pulled down and you get f***ed from behind, sometimes without lube. And worst of all? You already paid That’s not even the worst case. In 8% of cases, you get a blowjob for a few seconds. Just as you're about to cum (your bag just did a 10x and you think it’ll go higher), they bite your dick off. The lucky 2% actually cum. pump.fun? Just a strip tent where you paid your favorite hooker Then there are the scammers, clever deceivers mimicking buildings and luring you in (mostly through @X ads [still can't believe this is not fixed yet]) with promises of airdrops. You sign a contract to receive the reward, but in small print, it says it’ll drain your wallet. Full of greed, thinking you’re getting free money, you sign... then boom you’re outside, drained (that feeling is the worse I experienced in crypto) And it gets worse. Some high-IQ scammers replicate entire banks (chains). One day you walk into what you think is your usual bank and bam, you signed the wrong contract. Wallet drained The Known Banks Start to Stink I think centralization peaked this year. It’s gotten so bad that when people try to leave their known bank and explore the streets, CEXs are freezing accounts out of nowhere. People can't even withdraw their money Binance used to be a highly respected CEX. But most of the 30% of users who actually live in the streets now see Binance as a scammer. It used to support solid projects, sometimes early gems. People from the streets respected that. But greed took over. Billions in fees weren’t enough. Billions on their own BNB chain weren’t enough. Now they walk out the bank, decorate a pile of shit, walk back in, and everyone inside (the 70%) starts buying it, while Binance is selling in the background. Sick and corrupt if you ask me That’s why listings dump 90% within weeks. Binance lost a lot of street cred. Hence, #BoycottBinance became a thing for a short moment That Recent Gem in the Streets DEXs are maturing. One that finally made it is @HyperliquidX Now there's a real way to compete with CEXs, without KYC, without magic numbers in a database. Everything is transparent. This is decentralization making a comeback, and if you graphed it, you'd see decentralization dominance is starting to outperform centralization again Thanks, @chameleon_jeff Of course, CEXs are scared. It’s known that Coinbase and Binance are trying to exploit Hyperliquid. Recently, Binance even added perps and spot for $HYPE because the open interest is skyrocketing on Hyperliquid This is a bad sign if you understand magic numbers and arbitrage bots But lets stay optimistic, finally, migration is happening, from known banks (CEXs) to unknown banks (DEXs, especially Hyperliquid). I believe in a few years, we’ll see a complete reversal: 70% on DEXs, 30% on CEXs Fun fact: most projects must give a portion of their circulating supply to big CEXs like Binance to get listed. That was protocol. Hyperliquid didn’t care. Did none of that and still got listed. If you’re really someone from the streets, you highly respect that move from Hyperliquid The Next Big Problem in the Streets (we are currently here) Hookers, scammers, and known banks are always going to exist. But the real problem? Users think everything is safu. Especially newcomers They don’t realize they’re walking through shitty streets, distracted by scammers, hookers, and banks offering degen services. Meanwhile, surveillance cameras are logging their every move Every police officer (government) can review those logs at any time. That’s why Tor was made in the first place! Note this: People will run into serious problems in the coming years because they’re doing and did everything centralized Think a centralized VPN is enough? That's just a hoodie. A cop can pull it off your head. Centralized VPNs log your data, and they’ll hand it over when requested Worst part? 70% of all users are already known by CEXs due to KYC Forgotten Privacy, Where TF Did It Go? Remember Tor? The network that brought Bitcoin to live in the early days? It disappeared into the background Why? Old Tor is scary and slow. Scary because it’s associated with the dark web. Slow because websites used to be 100KB around the time Tor was released, now they’re 3MB on average. That’s a 30x increase in load, and Tor never scaled with it The Scaling Problem There has been a debate in the (remaining) Tor community for years now One side wants to monetize to support relay hosts. The other side fears it’ll lead to centralization I'm on the side of monetizing it. Why? Imagine mining Tor tokens like Bitcoin miners mine BTC. That would incentivize people to join the network with new relays, leading to rapid scaling. Bitcoin already proved this works Cleaning and Securing the Streets, One of the Last Gems To protect our identities, we need a bigger and better Tor network, open-source, modern, using tech like AI to filter out the nasty stuff We can already see @AnyoneFDN laying a decentralized foundation to protect people through Onion Routing. Call it Tor V2.0. It’s like everyone is getting Iron Man suits instead of hoodies Essentials For The Crypto Ecosystem From the beginning until now, these are the tokens I consider foundational: - Bitcoin: digital store of value - XMR: private digital store of value - ETH: utilizing digital value - LINK: solved the oracle problem - HYPE: solving the CEX problem These five make decentralized store of value, trading, and utility possible And if all goes well with Anyone Protocol: - ANYONE: solving the privacy problem Privacy Is No Joke You made a million? Thinking of cashing out? There's literally one country where you can go fully off-grid and keep it all: the Central African Republic Anywhere else? Get ready for: - Getting blacklisted by your bank - Getting taxed - Waiting months or even years - A nice invite from your government or bank to explain every detail The more "anon" route (considered fraud): - Pay rent or expenses with crypto without reporting it - Use multiple banks - Cash out in small amounts over time and avoid reporting I believe soon all data stored by the surveillance camera's, centralized VPNs and police officers will be sorted by AI to make everyone easy targets And yes, there are still a few big problems unsolved: - Seamless crypto use in the real world for everyone in a fair way - RWA (though I think Hyperliquid will catch this one) - A platform to truly support good projects (Binance abandoned this long ago, I hope Hyperliquid takes that torch) But none above can harm current crypto users. Stay safuh frens!

Don't know about all my fellow #atornauts and pre ethereum:0xfeac2eae96899709a43e252b6b92971d32f9c0f9 holders, but I feel pretty comfy. Imagine already having a foundation to build upon, adding an extra layer of privacy to your web apps while all hell is breaking loose across the internet. Your safe passage is right here, and it's called the ANyONe Network.

Revolut, Defoss, Burger King, Google, Microsoft, among others, and now PHP. All hacked in just a few weeks Fukkin WEEKS, bro Man, I'm not a doomer, but hell, I'm going to prep some food and water for what's about to happen in the coming weeks Can you wrap your head around that? WEEKS!!! Man, at this rate, we're not even going to make it to next year! If you think these incidents are unrelated to each other, you're dead wrong. This is other countries attacking other country infrastructures, trying to bring a country down from within. What's going to happen now? Most likely, the biggest targets running PHP (almost half the fukkin internet) already have other malware planted on their servers, waiting to be discovered weeks, maybe even months, from now. When that happens, complete havoc will break out as major companies, banks, supply chains, and other critical services start to fall. Hell, even if it isn't because of the PHP incident that just happened, we're going to see many more attacks on our infrastructure. Among the targets will be the very hearts of our infrastructure: data centers. These run everything you can possibly think of. This is the start of WW3, and it's called cyberwarfare. And I'm doubling down on what I said in my old post: a new profession will emerge, O2O Engineers (Online-to-Offline Engineers). What a time to be alive.

With all this shit going on in the world right now, especially when it comes to AI and what it's capable of, people and companies will soon be forced to move to other layers of the internet to keep themselves and their data safe. I think @AnyoneFDN can play a huge role here. ethereum:0xfeac2eae96899709a43e252b6b92971d32f9c0f9 is a massive black swan opportunity. I genuinely believe this will reach a market cap of several billion dollars. People will wish they had bought at these prices. Truly, man, holy shit. This is going to make the true believers rich.

The future looks bright...

There’s currently one very, very strong angle for @AnyoneFDN, and it has a high chance of succeeding if the right crowd finds out about it A lot of games are currently being reverse-engineered and spun up through web apps. Think Halo 1, MW2, etc. But they often get pulled from the web almost immediately because of legal pressure Now imagine launching something like halo.anon. They can’t just pull it down in the same way because it’s decentralized There are many other reverse-engineering projects that can’t survive on the traditional web but could potentially live on the $ANyONe network There’s a serious angle here. If this catches fire, man, fasten your seatbelt, because every vibe coder is going to want to launch a .anon

Ever since I discovered @AnyoneFDN , I’ve had this feeling that it’s going to play a major role in the near future when it comes to privacy But it’s not just a feeling... I’ve been in crypto since 2014, and during my CS studies I became increasingly aware of decentralized software that actually makes sense and solves real problems Over the years, I’ve found three projects where that conviction paid off massively. I started with three figures and ended up making six figures by DYOR, applying my CS knowledge, and going all-in when the fundamentals made sense base:0xe67f39fbe8c24ef8b3542efed1ee9963cefc1f2a feels different Being deeply aware of the crypto space, CT, the internet, privacy, and where AI is heading, I genuinely believe this has the potential to end up in the top 20

🚨 RARE WORLD BOSS DISCOVERED? 🚨 After waiting 15 HOURS off the coast of Darkshore, I encountered “Vorashul the Worldwake.” I have a theory it doesn’t stay in one zone… I think this thing is swimming around ALL of Azeroth 🌊 Has anyone else seen it? #WorldOfWarcraft #WoW #Warcraft

Coders who complain that their limit is being used up very quickly are often the ones who can’t code well. It usually means there’s too much slop, which leads to excessive context and, therefore, a lot of unnecessary LLM processing

I’m telling you, there aren’t many meaningful crypto projects left, if any. I truly believe this will be the last bull run The only meaningful project in a sea of shit is what @AnyoneFDN is building. ethereum:0xfeac2eae96899709a43e252b6b92971d32f9c0f9 will be the last big, almost guaranteed multiplier I believe it will eventually reach the top 20. At its current valuation, that would represent roughly a 170x return minimum Based on all my experience in crypto since 2014, and having gone from three figures to six figures myself, I’d give that outcome a 50% chance That’s a 50% chance, of turning $1,000 invested today into roughly $170,000

I remember the linkies so well in 2018. The confidence it would “solve the oracle problem” was unreal. It went from $0.15 to $45, a 300x. It haunts me till today It taught me a great lesson: look deeper into projects and ignore bears and FUD. DYOR and never again will I miss an opportunity like $LINK Soon after, I made my way from 4 figs to 6 figs with only 2 coins, cashed out more than 6 figs, and was left with around ~$10K I was like, “you better choose a new main hold.” I looked into many projects for days, and there it was: @AnyoneFDN , a remastered onion routing, basically Tor V2 With some side trading and digging deeper, I eventually went all-in on this project I’m telling you: $ANYONE will have its $LINK moment. Especially people chasing tops like $ZEC now will eventually move their liquidity somewhere else $ANYONE is the one. Top 100 in no time, and I believe top 20 eventually. That’s around a ~500x from here

$ANYONE is a black swan. Its technology is esoteric, which is exactly why it remains: - Underrated - Undervalued But its value is clear: - Needed - Timeless - Built for long-term relevance I wonder how long it will stay undervalued like this

Just so you know, if you’re looking for a good altcoin, this is 100% possible for ethereum:0xfeac2eae96899709a43e252b6b92971d32f9c0f9

I truly believe what @AnyoneFDN is building is one of the last major missing layers in crypto And you can still be part of it by buying $ANYONE IMHO, it’s like betting on red or black The odds? ~50/50 But the payoff isn’t 2x if you’re right It’s potentially 100x+!!!

People think AI is moving fast, hahaha. We’re still taking baby steps. Today’s AI helps build tomorrow’s AI. Wait until AI and quantum computing start accelerating each other. AI → Quantum → Better AI → Better Quantum → ♾️ That’s the endgame. Game over. Fools, whahaha

The scarier and more advanced AI models become, the more @AnyoneFDN makes sense One good hook, and we’ll see ethereum:0xfeac2eae96899709a43e252b6b92971d32f9c0f9 reach the single digits. Multiple hooks, which I believe will happen, we’ll see it in the top 10

I've been here since 2014. In 2018, Linkies kept repeating: " $LINK solves the oracle problem" It did. Believers became millionaires Today, $ANyONe has the same hook: it solves the privacy problem Though the market is way more diluted today, but one shift in liquidity and boom

Here it comes: xitter.cf/tszzl/status/209234782… I'm always ahead of the game AI will make cyberattacks happen at machine speed When AI can scan and exploit infrastructure faster than humans can react, making systems harder to discover becomes increasingly valuable $ANYONE

There are so many reasons to buy $ANyONe, the list goes on forever. My biggest reason is that, one day, its network will play a major role in privacy I’m convinced this network isn’t going to remain undiscovered forever

You know, going from 3 figs to 6 isn't luck, it's seeing what the other 99% don't. I started with $440 in 2014 and turned 3 bets into $100K+ profit. My 4th bet is $ANyONe. All-in, like always Then there are the actual balls it takes to risk it all and go all-in like me

IMHO, Privacy will be big in the next bull cycle. When people look beyond $XMR and $ZEC, they’ll find $ANYONE Previous ATH: ~$4, a 50x from here. And what they’ve built since is worth much more. You’ll wish you had bought at these ridiculously low prices below $0.10
